Instructions
- Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and seafood shells for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, and saute 2 more minutes. Reduce heat to medium, cover pan, cook 10 minutes.
- Add 6 cups of water and all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
- Strain broth through a mesh sieve. Discard the leftover shells and vegetables. You should be left with approximately 1 quart broth. (If you've got less than 1 quart, you can add a little water or white wine.)
- Use broth right away, refrigerate and use within 3-4 days, or freeze broth in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
